I laid some out here, where someone asked about IA vs. FP&A. I personally really enjoy it. My work consists of a mix of both routine work (forecasts and variances) and ad-hoc projects. Projects can be anything from a new product release, to potential opening of a new factory, to changing a supplier.
Would recommend asking what the FP&A group you're applying to prioritizes. Some do forecasts all day, everyday. The more interesting companies have cool projects as well as typical forecasting.

Thank you for sharing, this is very helpful!
Not in FP&A but I feel like the worst part is being wrong about your forecasts but that’s part of the job
Don’t do it you’d probably make more money in public accounting as you move up
I think if you’re on the corporate consolidations FP&A team youre probably more safe since there always has to be someone at the top combining information and managing in aggregate. From what I’ve heard before I joined my company there were layoffs that happened in the strategic groups not reporting groups (FP&A, accounting)
